I think this is a record!

Just under 60mpg on this morning's commute... In a car that weighs 5004lb (according to the app).

This is a Volvo S90, the Volvo competitor to the 5er and the E class.

It's fucking massive with the poverty spec D4 engine. The gear box does clever things to help with the mpg, but it shoots up massively when the weather is warm.

I don't go on the motorway for my commute.

The hybrid shopping trolley indicates 70.1mpg over 5k miles.

All the others I've 'measured' in fill-ups/month although I think my LWB petrol Landy did about 17mpg.
The plural of 'anecdote' is not 'data'.

TBF that 73mpg was in a German diesel car, so it was probably lying through its teeth and chucking a few back handers to the European Comission to boot.

So that mpg figure was for running-in miles?
There is no cloud, just somebody else's computer.

You might have got even more if you'd reduced drag by taking the PRIDE flags off! :lol:

I don’t think cars need “running in” these days.
Certainly not company cars that get given back every year.
FWIW, I knew a guy who kept meticulous fuel and mileage records. He bought a new BMW K75S, mpg gradually improved and only levelled out after 15,000 miles.
Even bland can be a type of character :wave:
